52 @ i@) WOMEN & THE CYNICAL BACHELOR Clothes:' said theCynicalBachelor, ff mean more to women than money. That's why so many husbands are on small allowances." tt Iy dear fellow," said the Husband Who Had Learned Wisdom from That Wise Woman His Wife, your ignorance of the sex is deplorable.

These, and some of the more modest chintzes and hand-blocked linens that you can find in the upholstery department, make lovely and very coo1 dresses for summer wear.

Imagine, now that the Camp Fire Girls have adopted the baggy garment for their own, being conspicuous in knickers! As a matter of fact, the universal adoption of pI us or minus fours is apt to have far-reaching social implica- tions if it is not speedily curbed. It should be obvious to any observant aesthete, as it is to me, that a rough, sausage-like and generally ill-fitting habiliment, essentially masculine in its connotation, is scarcely calculated to render more charming the female form divine; while equally apparent is the melancholy circumstance that nine men out of ten who are seen wearing knickers are laboring under a misconception anent the effective- ness of theIr personal streamlines.
